instructions  from  this  Roard  arc  not  strictly  executed,  that  the  Roard  may,  with  as  little  delay  as  possible,

N  O  T  E  . 

Tlie  day-beaeoiis  abmg  the  Florida  Heefs.  from  EoWKV  Rori;s,  "  P"  to  Ea.-THRN  SaMIIO,  "A,"  (between 
Ca]ic  Florida  and  Sand  Key  Light-honses,)  are  composed  each  of  an  iron  shaft,  thirty  feet  in  height,  erecd'il 
on  iron-pile  foundations.  distiiKjuixhcd  tiij  a  Viine.  upon  which  one  of  tlie  letters  of  the  alpiiabet  is  shown  in 
tlieii'  rc'iilar  oriler  from  "1''  to  "A"  to  Eastern  Sambo  inclusive,  (from  northward  and  ('astward  to  soiitli 
wa\il  and  westwai'd.)  and  from  Eastern  Sambo  to  west  channel  into  Key  West  by  other  letters  of  the 
alphabet,  and  above  it  is  a  Itttiee-irork  Imop-inm  ri/linder  or  harrel. 

The  colors  (white,  black,  and  red)  arc  used  in  ]iainting  each  of  those  beacons  to  render  tliein  as 
striking  to  the  eye  of  the  mariner  as  |iossible,  and  so  eoniliineil  that  no  two  adjacent  beacons  have  the  siiiiie 
cobirs  upon  like  parts.  Masters  of  vessels  may  ascertain  their  positions  in  latitude  and  longitude  by  refer- 
iiig  to  the  list  for  these  beacons  as  they  are  passed. 

These  beacons  are  placed  on  the  most  projecting  and  dangerous  points  on  the  l'"lorida  Meefs,  and  ar(\ 
in  "-encral,  from  four  to  six  miles  from  the  seaward  slior<'s  of  the  b'lorida  Keys,  and  within  half  a  mile,  in 
eveni  case,  of  the  edge  of  the  ( iiilf  stream.  The  depth  of  water  wiiere  these  beacons  stand  does  not  exceeil 
four  feet  at  low  tide. 

These  beacons  may  be  approachdl  IVom  ^I'award  witiiin  a  few  hundred  yards:  but  it  would  be  pruileiit 
at  all  times  (and  especially  in  light  winds,  or  in  threatening  or  bad  weather)  to  give  them  a  good  berth. 

In  moderate  wiather,  it  fre(iiiently  happens,  (especially  after  easterly  gales,)  that  the  force  ami  direc- 
tion of  tiie  Gulf  stream  sets  across  thi  reefs,  carrying  the  vessels  imperceptibly  into  danger,  although  tho 
course  stcereil  would,  if  made  good,  carry  them  well  outside  of  all  danger. 

When  one  of  these  beacons  is  discovered  to  the  eastward  (jf  a  vessel,  the  master  may  be  certain  that  ho 
is  between  the  Reefs  and  Keys,  ami  most  likely  surrounded  by  shoals  and  dangeious  ro(dis  or  reefs 

The  Turtle  I/arl'or  and  Coffin's  J'uteln'S  heacons  dill'er  in  appearance  from  the  other  described  beacon* 
with  letters  of  llie  alphabet,  ami  will  be  found  fully  described  in  their  proper  places  on  the  list.
